In reply to mikeshep. Yes - even a regular reboot can help if OBS has only just registered itself as a device.

In reply to Liam Caffrey. I've used OBS Virtualcam (which was an add-on, not the built in feature) to do this with Teams and it worked fine. Try restarting teams while OBS is running, and in the Devices Menu on Teams see if you now have OBS or Virtual Cam listed.

In reply to Mark Hadley. Yes - I don’t use my webcam as a microphone.

In reply to Liam Caffrey. OBS virtual camera does not pass audio which is not a problem but might be confusing (if you are used to a webcam that supplies audio) I love OBS virtual camera Teams.

Awesome idea. Thank you so much Rob Farley. I also came across this blog from Scott’s youtube video where he does the same thing with Microsoft whiteboard. Your explanation is so clear and crisp ! Great job !

In reply to Liam Caffrey. I’ve had it working in Teams. I’ll try to get a recording some time to demonstrate.

This is great and got it all working except that MS Teams doesn’t accept input from a Virtual Camera. There is a product Ecamm which has a pro version which manages it – haven’t tried it.

Do you know of any way around this. How are Ecamm hooking into the Teams camera settings? I wonder could the same be done with OBS?

In reply to Barb Miltner. You can do it live. That’s what the Virtual Camera bit in OBS does. You start the Virtual Camera, and then in Zoom, choose OBS as your camera device.

Is this just for screencasting/recording, or can you do it live like on Zoom?
